Ask our naturopath via the contacts page which supplements are the right ones for you.

IBS is the most common gastro-intestinal disorder reported to GPs and up to 50% of referrals to gastroenterologists are for IBS. Herbal Medicine and naturopathy attains a very high rate of clinical success in the treatment of IBS.

Gastric reflux and stomach ulcers require a review of diet and removal of acidic foods. Adrenal and nervous stress issues also need to addressed.

Symptoms, include bloating, reflux, wind, diarrhoea and/or constipation, nausea, abdominal pain, low energy, sinusitus and stress. Often these clients have other health issues such as migraines or skin disorders. Absorption of nutrients from food can also be affected in people with digestive disorders.

Naturopathy can offer a highly effective solution for patients who are not happy to take drugs which only offer symptomatic relief and want a more permanent solution. Many of my clients have often noticed a deterioration in their digestion over a period of years.

IBS/digestive disorders account for a large percentage of my clients. On average, it takes around a week to start noticing an improvement and treatment continues for up to 2 or 3 months. Clients often need regular contact with their naturopath during this time to review effect of elimination diet and access what further herbal treatment is necessary. If food intolerances are a suspected cause, the best way of testing for IBS food intolerances is by elimination diets and then gradual reintroduction of foods. Most of the time it is possible to identify the foods through the elimination diet process.

Upon completion, results can have a permanent or long lasting action depending on client lifestyle/stress levels and elimination of any food allergens etc.
